Talking to my dad at the weekend, what was the last car to be brought to market with drum brakes all round?

Latest (and IMO he knows his stuff) he could think of was something like the Hillman Avenger or some mk1 Escorts.

Any later?

Our '76 Avenger had discs at the front. I think they were an option, but one that pretty much everyone took.

I'm pretty sure they are disk all round, or atleast front. Thats on TD5s onwards.

My 1986 Panda 750 (it was a long long time ago) was drums all round I think.

...and unservoed IIRC from a rather alarming test drive of that era eek

We bought the much better specced (in relative terms only!) Puno - as it came to be known.

My '89 Land Rover 90 had disks on the front. I assume they were that were from '86ish.
